VIDEO: Out of work robber’s daughter found safe

Officers have found the daughter of a robbery suspect Robert Daniel Webb, who police say was caught on video robbing an Ellensburg convenience store as the 9-year-old girl looked on.

In a statement, Kittitas County Undersheriff Clayton Myers said the girl was found by California authorities Wednesday evening. A Humboldt County man told police Webb had asked him to watch the girl before learning that Webb had been involved in the robbery.

Myers said Webb led police on a high-speed chase while fleeing the store with his daughter. Webb ultimately escaped and remains at large.

Aside from his daughter’s presence, Webb has drawn national headlines because of a statement he made to the clerk during the robbery.

“Open the till and get me what you have,” Webb said, according to The Associated Press. “I’m out of work. My daughter’s got to survive.”
